Mirren Kincaid--The First Penton Vampire on Pinterest?

Yes, as highly unlikely as it seems, Mirren, our big old Gallowglass warrior, is the first Penton vampire to make it onto Pinterest!

You can find the Pinterest page for Absolution and follow along. There isn't much there yet, but I'll be adding to it (for example, did you know Absolution had three different covers before we settled on the final one? I'll be posting the rejects this week.)

I'll also be setting up new pages for each book, including the upcoming Allegiance, book four in the Penton...

Do You Pledge Allegiance? Penton 4 Has a Name!

The fourth book in the Penton Legacy series finally has a name! Thanks to all of you who participated in the "Name That Book" contest, and congrats to Steph F for being the first to suggest the winning selection, chosen by both my editor and myself:

ALLEGIANCE

It's a really fitting title because things in Penton are forcing people to choose sides or run. This is Cage Reynolds' story, and here's how the unofficial "one-sentence blurb" goes like this:

A British vampire and former mercenary travels...

Penton 4....Stay Tuned

Happy Sunday!

I'm on a tight, tight deadline for the next 24 hours, but enjoy a short snip from Penton 4, where the fair fanged folk are up to their ears in trouble (so what else is new?)...

Mirren had engaged in every kind of battle imaginable, or so he thought. He’d met men armed with battle axes and swords, wearing chain mail of his own construction. He’d used fangs and his own brute strength to tear opponents’ limbs from their bodies. He’d beheaded, stabbed, shot, burned, poisoned. But he c...

Vampires, Knights, and Mermen--Oh, My!

Things are busy over in Susannah's World! So a few treats today, and project updates...

PENTON 4: Cage Reynolds, everyone's favorite vampire shrink, has fallen victim to my day job this week, so it'll be another week before I call it a wrap on Penton Book 4--which will include choosing a winner to the "Name that Book" contest. So, stay tuned and I'll make the announcement next Sunday! And I have to say I am love love loving this book, so I can't wait to spring it on you :-)

WAIT, DON'T THE MERM...

Last Day for 99-Cent Storm Force!

Happy Sunday! Some housekeeping today.

If you are an aspiring author, an author planning or stalled on a new project, or just interested in the plotting process. I'm starting my monthlong online plotting workshop tomorrow through the Contemporary Romance Writers chapter. You don't have to be a chapter member to join in, and lessons are conducted via a Yahoo loop.  More info here . This is the last time until at least mid-2014 I'll be doing this particular workshop since I'm rolling out some...

The Pre-Sunday Snippet Snippet (or Something Like That)

Check out the  Lady Scribes blog  while you're surfing around this weekend. I'm joining four other of the Ladies (where I'm known as the "Countess de Cocodrie") to offer up a book win...with a hint of a whiff of an excerpt from the as-yet-untitled Penton #4.... You can find us  HERE .

Check back on Sunday for a real snippet!

Win a Book, Name a Book, Buy a Book Cheap

Hey, that's kinda catchy, that title.

A quick update....

Me, myself and I are taking part in a special event being held by Melliane at  Between Dreams and Reality  and Carien at  Pearls Cast Before a McPig  today. At Between D and R, DJ from my Sentinels of New Orleans series (as Suzanne Johnson) has a guest blog, talking about her crazy life, and I'm giving away your choice of Sentinels books.

At Pearls Cast Before a McPig, I'm doing an interview and giving away your choice...

A Sunday Snippet from Penton 4!

And remember, the contest to "Name That Book" continues until October 7, so if you haven't offered up some one-word naming options, scroll on down :-)

If you've read the Penton saga so far, you're probably wondering whatever happened to Matthias Ludlam, who was sporting a lovely pair of silver bracelets last time we saw him.

Penton 4 begins three months after the end of the third book, Omega...

Movement from above. Unfamiliar voices. The dreams always began this way.

A shaft of light would pierce...

A New Review of Storm Force!

Thanks to the Pearls Cast Before a McPig blog for the Storm Force review today! There might still be another Omega Force novel, but not for a while since I have my fingers in too many pies right now.

BUT at least two of the Storm Force team members have joined the cast of the Penton series, officially linking the two worlds, and that's all I'm saying for now because 1) I'm evil and 2) I'm evil. Let's just say when I shut down the computer last night after finishing a chapter, I was laughing.

Penton 4 Takes Shape and a Contest to Name That Book!

It has been fun to dig back into the world of Penton this past week as book four officially takes shape. It still has the working title of DELIVERANCE, but that will probably change since I've found four other books with that name released just this year.

So I'm in search of another name that fits with Redemption and Absolution (Omega was kind of an odd duck in that trio). So, how about a contest?

Leave a comment with a title suggestion. The title should be one word that fits with the storyline...
